Today’s Action: Demand Your Democrat Senators “Withhold Consent”
Trump’s Tax Scam now lives in the Senate, where Republicans have pulled every trick in the books to deny Democrats the procedural tools to stop the devastating plan: a $1.5 trillion giveaway to millionaires and corporations “paid for” by:
- charging working families more for healthcare, higher education, and homeownership;
- cutting Medicare and Medicaid;
- dismantling the Affordable Care Act;
- and plunging our nation into significantly deeper debt.
But Democrats have a powerful Constitutional tool in their pockets: withholding consent on routine Senate business that requires — and ordinarily gets — unanimous approval to proceed. It’s our responsibility to demand our Democratic Senators withhold consent to stop this scam.
From Indivisible: The power to delay is the power to win. Without unanimous consent agreements, every single thing the Senate does takes longer…Committee hearings will be delayed, 15-minute votes on mundane Senate business at inconvenient times will be required…A single senator engaging in a single act of withholding consent can delay Senate action for days. And just think: all the time spent on this time-consuming, tedious procedure is time that can’t be spent rubber-stamping President’s Trump agenda.
Republicans have been playing a dirty game, but Democrats have the Constitution on their side to resist. Call your Democratic Senator at 202.225.3121 and demand they withhold consent on all unanimous consent votes. When we delay, we win.
Stop. This. Scam.
PS — Please don’t forget to sign the petition demanding that Trump keep his promise to veto any bill that cuts Medicaid, and add your name to the Americans demanding answers on the Trump Tower-Russia meeting and telling Congress to make Jared Kushner testify publicly!
